New Delhi: Actor Sonu Sood has been chosen to succeed Rannvijay Singha as the host of popular reality show MTV Roadies.

“MTV Roadies has redefined the meaning of adventure for viewers across the country, with high-octane tasks through every edition. The journey emphasises on the importance of mental and emotional endurance along with physical strength, which is what drew me towards hosting the show,” the 48-year-old actor said.
“As we set aboard for South Africa, I look forward to a life-changing journey and putting contestants through unimaginable tasks to see if they have the willingness to come back stronger. The new season will be filled with twists and turns and leave viewers stunned as the path unfolds,” Sood added.
Shooting for new season is likely to begin in the second week of February in South Africa, while the show is expected to go on air in March 2022 on MTV India.
